Feature request: semaphores for externals

One of the long-bemoaned limitations of externals is their inability to send messages into the LC environment asynchronously. I can imagine why this might be very difficult to implement, given that externals often would like to do this from within the context of a different thread, or even in an op

Maybe try the "other FInd dialog (on the Edit menu). Also, are you sure a global is the problem? There's a bug in strict compilation mode where a local variable in a script will sometimes be flagged as shadowing another local variable, even though it doesn't. Only way to get round it is save, qu

All: If I set the textSize of a virgin table field to something like 24, the editable field that sits atop it is stuck at 12, which is the default. I would have thought it would follow the lead of the object textSize, no? I can always kluge this: on mouseUp set the textSize of the focusedO
